Real Techniques Modern Natural & Night Owl Makeup Kits

So did anyone catch a glimpse at my post on Instagram about my excitement that the lady duo over at Real Techniques decided on releasing two limited edition makeup kits??

No...well you should of because I was jumping for joy at this one.

First off my package also came with two pointed liner brushes, why they would send two instead of possibly two different brushes has got me. But can't complain for something that was an added extra to my delivery.

I'm not a 100% happy with how bulky these are, the thickness of the palette doesn't make me want to take it on holiday or road trip & will take double the space compared to one of my BH Cosmetic palettes.

The outside look is again just ok, I would have thought a little more effort could have been made as the packaging looks slightly cheap & tacky.

The one thing that's a big no no for me is placing cream products directly next to powder products & is the prime reason I choose not to buy makeup kits, but I knew this was coming in the kit so I'll have to live with it.

All in all the eyeshadows & products within the palettes are fine but could have done better for the amount you pay. Shipping took just over a week for express which is normal. These types of kits would be perfect for a newbie in makeup or someone who loves all the colours combined in this post. For me I prefer buying makeup singularly & taking various bits & bobs in my makeup bag, that way I can choose exactly what I want.

I'm glad I went ahead & purchased both as it was great to see the comparison, but this is a complete one off & it has made me remind myself not to buy kits again.
